A host of Giants are set to return for a crucial clash this Saturday afternoon, with former skipper Stephen Coniglio, midfielder Harry Perryman and winger Isaac Cumming lining up for his first senior match of 2024.
Coniglio (shoulder) was a close call for last week's Sydney derby defeat but will make his first appearance since Round 11 this weekend after a couple of weeks of completed training and Thursday's fitness test success.
Harry Perryman (hamstring) has also been left out since Round 11, taking five weeks to recover his soft tissue concerns, but is now set to further bolster the side that welcomed back Josh Kelly and Lachie Ash in recent weeks.
Isaac Cumming (calf) makes his opening AFL outing in 2024 after sustaining a calf injury that cut his pre-season short and interrupted his campaign.
The media team shared a usually cryptic post to unveil the news, nicknamed 'the cheeseball', you can probably connect the dots here:

An update on Sam Taylor's return timeline has been provided by the club, revealing he remains a few weeks away having completed surgery on his ruptured testicle suffered two weeks ago.
He's received the all clear from a urologist to begin running again next week, but will be a crucial absentee for a few more matches as he undergoes his recovery plan.
Veteran Nick Haynes still has a two-to-three week wait with his hamstring injury, while a number of fringe forwards remain in the selection mix, including Darcy Jones, Aaron Cadman and Phoenix Gothard after impressive VFL outings.
